WorldCat

WorldCat is an online "union catalog"--a database of over 1 billion records of books and other materials held in more than 10,000 academic, public, special and national libraries around the world. Use WorldCat to locate materials outside of Yale, including archival collections and essays or plays within anthologies. The free Web version is at WorldCat.org.

What does the library have for drama?

Welcome to the Yale University Library!

This guide is designed to bring together the many Drama-related resources available electronically via the library. Of course, you should also consult our plentiful print collections, findable through Orbis, and primary sources related to the Yale School of Drama, Yale Repertory Theatre, Yale Cabaret, and Yale Dramat, findable through the Yale Finding Aids Database. See the Theater Studies and Dance guide, of which this guide is a subset, for help locating print resources.

Most of the resources listed on this guide are subscription access only and thus limited to current Yale students, faculty, and staff. If you are not on campus, you must connect to the Yale network via VPN--see Off-Campus Access for details. If you do not have a current Yale NetID, please visit the Arts Library in person to access these resources.
